INTRODUCTION
In , we read of God's displeasure with the world and its wickedness.
The beauty of the daughters of the world, attracted the men of God, so they wanted them.
In , we read of God's displeasure with the world and its wickedness.
The beauty of the daughters of the world, attracted the men of God, so they wanted them.
This led to the destruction of the perfect home environment.
This combination of good and evil, produced mighty men, people morally clean, but not spiritually committed.
They were religious, with just enough religion, to fool those around them.
They worshiped idols, but claimed they know the idols were not God, but just represented God.
They gave the idols the characteristics and habits of men, so God became like them, rather than man becoming more like God.
Many became renown.
They were the conscience of the world.
They had a knowledge of God, but used it for convenience, but this opened door for them, and it made them famous.
But as God pronounces judgment upon the world, and prepares to destroy it with a flood, we find encouraging words concerning one man:
"But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." -
Grace , unmerited favor.
Grace , unmerited favor.
The word Noah, means rest.
and it , we have Lamec explaining the meaning of his sons name.
11 Centuries had passed since Adam and Eve came from the hand of God.
Lamec was 182 years old when Noah was born.
Methuselah, father of Lamec and grandfather of Noah was contemporary with Adam for 243 years.

When Adam died, Lamec Father of Noah was 56 years old.
These men and walked withe Enoch as Enoch walked with God.
They listened when Enoch preached the word, and he preached of Eden restored, and God the great deliver.
And in Noah, Lamec saw a new beginning, This one he said, will comfort us.
“Oh to believe in a child.
To work from the premise that this child will be something, do something, achieve something.
To pour everything you have into that child.
to encourage, to empower, to affirm, to believe.
Lamec believed in Noah, God believed in Noah.
What a wonderful thing to believe in somebody.
In naming his son Noah, Lamec expresses hope for humanity through him.
Evil was so rampant that it stood ready to overrun good.
Years of practicing evil, using the giftedness of man, reknowned men, was too much for those who desired to do good.
God realized he had to do something to save humanity.
He need to intervene to rescue this world from Satan and his confederacy, and this was Noah, Noah finding grace.
